Free standing modular painting or wall hanging


My husband mounted Masonite pressed board to a support frame making what is called a deep cradled box. These boxes can stand on their own or be hung on the wall without a frame. A grouping can have its own special modular frame in which the boxes can be continually arranged one way or another or flipped revealing new possibilities with the underside showing. This is a fun project to do with my husband.





Pulling and rearranging the blocks within the frame is easier to do on the table. The modular frame is becoming a sculpture stand.

Eighth Day Resolution of Modular Frame

The Modular Frame is pushing our skills to the limit. It is a new idea materializing. My collaborative partner, my husband, worked in the shop today trying to make a companion piece for the one I am working on. As might be expected in working out the kinks in a new creation not all is perfect on the first try. The tolerance of the fit is very slim in each of the nine compartments in the frame. These frames are difficult to make just right with my husbands equipment.
Below are some blocks evolved to final resolution. the modular frame is a 23 3/4" square. Each of these deep cradled boxes are 6 inch squares. The medium is watercolor with acrylic medium and acrylic paint. The modular can be hung on the wall or placed in a stand for putting on tables. The complete modular with stand is for sale $900.
